Dear Tammy, Chris @ Girls:
It is a loss for all of us to say goodbye to your Mom, Gram & dear friend to the rest of us as she leaves us behind & moves on to that wonderful home she has spent her life arranging the plans for. We don't know just what was in store for her had she stayed here with us but we can rest assured she is bypassing somethings that might not be so good.
You can bet she is with her "this side love Ray" and they together, Ann coaching us & Ray advising us how to go about it! We can feel their their love & the hand of God on our shoulder at all times .
Take one day at a time.
Love & special. Lessings

Ann was a valuable member and driving force for the Ridgetown Figure Skating Club. She could always be found at the arena..... usually working. She offered encouragement to not only her grand-daughters, but other skaters as well. She was a wonderful woman who will be missed dearly.
Our sincere condolences to the family. May fond memories bring you some peace during this very difficult time.

Tammy, Chris, Natalie and Alyssa I met Ann only a few times but liked her very much. She impressed me as a woman with a large heart and a kind soul. I could especially see that she had a deep love for her grandchildren and was more than willing to help them in moving forward in their lives, whatever their goals. Tammy, I see that same kindness and generosity of spirit in you and can see where it came from. Ann will be sorely missed, but will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone she touched in her life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The way she cared for all the kids at school and the arena was endearing. She lived for her grandkids and couldn't get enough of talking about them. She will be missed!

Ann was not just a great friend, but a wonderful mentor to many of us "younger" teachers. She was the "Mama Bear" of Ridgeview and kept us all on our toes. Teaching next to her was the greatest experience and we were all lucky to have her to confide in, learn from, and laugh with. Thanks Ann, we love you.

Tammy and family,
Your mom was my first figure skating coach. I have many memories of my time on the ice with her, especially figures and summer school which also meant swimming the odd time in your aunt's pool in Chatham. Having a parent in the same profession, I know now how much your mom cared for each of her students. She also was my grade seven teacher for part of the year and I thought that was pretty cool even though she made me put my nose on the wall in the hall one time for speaking when I shouldn't have-I have never forgotten that! As you read everyone's condolences and memories of your mom, may you find some comfort in knowing how many lives she was apart of and the memories we have of her. Take care. Shauna Jackson

Keeping your entire family in our Thoughts & Prayers during this very difficult time.
With the Ridgetown Figure Skating Club I had the pleasure of working with Ann on many occasions ... Ann always had the children's best interest at heart.
What an Amazing, Kind Hearted Woman she was.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain
but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
Love,
Todd, Lesa, Natasha & Kyle
Please hold this poem near and dear to your hearts and let it help provide you with Strength & Comfort.
WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU
For my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same.
When I must leave you for a little while,
Please go on bravely with a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name,
Live on and do all things the same
Spend not your life in empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways-
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near.
